  1. I haven't been able to find a blue Alpha that doesn't cost an arm and a leg
  2. I've finally got some time to resume working on my custom 1/100 VF-1A Kakizaki. I just need to complete the arms and then paint some more details and add the rest of the decals, but so far I like how it looks.
  3. Such a perfect paint job on that Fan Racer

    Well, Bandai did a dark gray Tomahawk once Maybe there's just no canon color for them.
  8. Update on my Kakizaki project: I ended up going an entirely different way and just carved the antenna out of spare frames plastic. Is not as detailed as the included one, but it works
  9. Thanks. I'll have a look at that. I was also considering Tamiya's TS-3
  10. It's just because I'd like a uniform color for all the brownish parts. I'll see if I can find some color to mix so I can resemble the rest of the body
  11. Yesterday I started a new project. Since my Macross collection is 1/100 scale, it was missing a TV VF-1A Kakizaki. That's why I decided to get a Standard VF-1A kit for customizing, and I found this one: I liked this kit because I suck at painting, and its pieces are cast in light brown and dark gray plastic, so it would just need some white painting, and I could keep the base colors for the rest of the kit. So yesterday I started the process of masking and painting using a can of white spray paint, and it was working just fine. So today I was looking for some pieces to paint next, but then I started looking at the gray pieces, and noticed this: The damn antenna was cast gray!!!! (piece #24) No I'll be forced to paint the rest of the kit with some brownish color. So I'd like to ask the experts here: is there a spray color that may look like Kakizaki's right out of the can? I considering Tamiya's TS46 may work. Any thoughts, advise?

    Amen to that, sir
  13. Thanks for the answer. I haven't put together many model kits before, but I really love how this Inbit design looks.
